NFL Draft tracker — Running list of prospects that will be checked out by Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are still hosting free agent visits – Rocky McIntosh and Tyrell Johnsonwere the latest on Monday – but now that the calendar has turned to April, the free agency period is winding down and the NFL Draft season is heating up.

Over the next three weeks, you’ll read a lot about players the Dolphins are checking out. They can bring 30 players to the team facility in Davie for an interview (but not a workout). Jeff Ireland and his scouts have also been flying all over the country to check out pro days and private workouts.

Some of the visits and workouts get reported, though many remain quiet. And just because the Dolphins check out a player doesn’t mean they like him. Sometimes, the Dolphins interview/scout a player just to pump some information from him or see what type of player they will be going against this fall.

Naturally, the Dolphins will be thoroughly inspecting the top prospects that could be taken with the eighth pick – pass rushers Quinton Coples and Melvin Ingram and quarterback Ryan Tannehill are already on the docket. But the Dolphins will do plenty of diligence on the late-round picks, as well.

Here is a list of all the players the Dolphins have already checked out or plan to check out, as reported by the Post and other media outlets. We’ll periodically update it over the next three weeks:

Palm Beach Post

* Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill – Jeff Ireland and Joe Philbin personally attended his Pro Day last week, then took him out for dinner and spent time with him in the classroom.

* Arizona State QB Brock Osweiler – Same as Tannehill.

* Albion CB Chris Greenwood – Division III standout recently worked out for a Dolphins scout on campus. Late-round pick has good size for a corner (6-1, 193).

North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins – Former Florida Gator standout interviewed with the Dolphins at the Senior Bowl in January.
